The article deals with the chances of immigrant-origin candidates to get elected to city councils in four cities of Southern Germany. Based on aggregate analyses for 2006 to 2009, it can be shown that such candidates perform well in electoral precincts with a high share of migrants. However, their chances to getting elected is not above average, since they are supported less in precincts with low shares of migrants. The results are supportive of the hypothesis “migrants vote for migrants”, irrespective of personal party preferences, even though aggregate data analysis cannot serve as a proof for the hypothesis.
